IT IS NOW NIGHT 2

Comment moderation has been turned on. You then have until Sunday, July 3rd at 6AM PST (2PM in the UK) to submit your actions. The night may end earlier if everyone has submitted something.

Round 3 Day 1

At least one person did not go home when the sun set. They lurked in the shadows, notebook in hand. Nobody came to visit their target for the first few hours, but then they saw a shape.
“Interesting.” If their target wound up dead, they would know who to blame. They scribbled a few notes and then looked up to see someone standing over them with a knife.

Too late, Kaden, Busybody realized that the Mafia hadn't come for his target--they'd come for him. He tried to run, but only made it a few steps before the knife impaled itself in his leg. He crumpled to the ground. The mafioso removed the knife and stabbed him again, this time in the chest. A few stabs later, their job was done. They scooped up his body and the notebook, which had fallen from his bloody hand.

The next morning, the town woke to the smell of smoke. The gallows was burning, and Kaden’s body burned with it. Somewhere in the crowd, the mafioso refrained from smiling, but it was difficult. The notebook with the only incriminating evidence had been the first to burn.

It is now DAY 1! 
Comment moderation has been turned off, and results are being emailed out. You can now use this post to talk and figure out who is suspicious. You're welcome to share information if you have it, but be aware that if you reveal yourself as a powerful role, you could be the next target.

There are 6 people left, so a hanging would need a 4-vote majority.

If you vote, please type the word "castvote" in your comment so I can use Control-F

To vote, type "unvote"

To revote, type "castvote" again but with a different player's name.

YOU HAVE UNTIL FRIDAY, JULY 1st AT 7PM PACIFIC TIME (3AM on Saturday in the UK)

The orders of these two lists are unrelated. Roles were assigned randomly.

The Hidden Mafia could be either a Framer or an Evil Roleblocker, and the Hidden Towns could be Twins, Roleblockers, Busybodies. If there are Twins, there are exactly two, but there could be any number of Roleblockers or busybodies (well, not more than three in this game). See the previous post for descriptions. There are no neutrals in this game.

IT IS NOW NIGHT 1

Mini-Mafia v. 3?

I told you I'd have another round up in June, so here you go. Sign up in the comments below if you're interested.

Role list will contain a combination of the following roles. Note that there are no paranoid, naive or insane cops. Also, certain Mafia members may have special powers now, and not all townsfolk will have special powers.

Town
Citizen- No special powers, just another vote for the town

Twin- No special powers, but can have a night chat with the other twin and talk privately. There will always be exactly two or none at all.

Cop- Can investigate one person per night, receives a verdict of guilty for all Mafia except the Godfather, innocent for everyone else. There will be exactly one.

Doctor- Can heal one person each night. There will be exactly one.

Roleblocker- Can prevent one person from doing their normal night action. Can't roleblock another roleblocker. If they attempt this, they will receive a notification that their roleblock failed. However, they will not receive any notification if they roleblock a citizen. There could be none or there could be any number.

Busybody- Can watch one person per night. Will be notified if anyone (Doctor, cop, mafioso, etc) visits that person.

Mafia
Godfather- In charge of the Mafia. Can only be killed by a lynch during the day.

Mafioso- Can kill one person each night (limit one kill for all Mafia)

Framer- Can frame an innocent person so they will appear guilty if investigated or a guilty person so they'll seem innocent. Can also be chosen to kill someone, but will not be able to both kill and frame in the same night.

Evil Roleblocker- Can prevent one person from doing their normal night action. Can't roleblock another roleblocker. If they attempt this, they will receive a notification that their roleblock failed. However, they will not receive any notification if they roleblock a citizen.

Neutral
Survivor- Has two immunity vests. Can't be killed at night if wearing one. Goal is to survive until the end. Can win with town or Mafia, but not with serial killer.

Serial Killer- Has two immunity vests. Can't be killed at night if wearing one. Can also kill one person per night. Goal is to be the last one standing.

Executioner- Will be assigned a random target at the beginning of the game. Goal is to get that target lynched.

Certain roles will be hidden from the rolelist until the player is dead. For example: Twins, Roleblockers, and busybodies will be listed as "hidden town." Framer or evil roleblocker will be listed as "hidden Mafia," and all neutral roles will be listed as "hidden neutral." When people die, their exact role will be revealed in the story, and the appropriate listing, whether it is that role name or. "Hidden ______" will be removed.

Round 2 Night 4

As the sun set, several hands pushed Lavender Hope toward the gallows. By the end, she walked willingly. Resistance was futile. They all believed she was guilty.

One hand held her back.

"Wait." Silente's voice, quiet though it was, broke through the commotion. "I can't do this without you, Lav. We're in this together."

Lav shook her head. "Sil, I've been deceiving you this whole time. I'm one of the--"

Silente squeezed Lav's wrist even tighter. "Don't try to lie and protect me. It won't work. They knew I was the other mafioso before even before I blatantly admitted it. I'm going to die soon, and I'd rather it wasn't alone."

Lav nodded and gave Silente a hug. "Okay. Together it is."

No one felt like saying no to a request like that.

Lavender and Silente walked up to the gallows side by side.

"Do not go gentle into that good night," Silente said, looking meaningfully at Lav. "Just because we haven't won doesn't mean we didn't fight. Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

Lav nodded. "I will go down with this ship. I won't put my hands up and surrender."

"It's been a pleasure working with you, Lav."

"Same to you, Sil."

As soon as their moment of song and emotion was over, Lavender, Mafioso and Silente, Mafioso hung side by side.

******

The town and survivor have effectively won.

Complete rolelist:

Mafioso--Lavender
Mafioso--Silente

Normal Cop--Lua
Naive Cop--Elleni
Paranoid Cop--Gemma
Insane Cop--Keiron

Doctor--Snow
Coroner--Star

Survivor--Dugglyn

******

As you may have noticed, this round has ended a bit earlier than it needed to. This is because a few people contacted me and said they were experiencing negative emotions as a result of the game. I've decided to cut it short rather than risk anyone getting hurt further. I apologize for my shortcomings as a host.

I know this game was fun for a lot of people, so I'll consider bringing it back in June, but right now I need a break, and I know others do as well. If I bring the game back, I will take steps to make sure the game is more fair and enjoyable for everyone.

Thank you all for playing.

Much love,

Fabi

Round 2 Day 4

The sky darkened and everyone went inside. Soon the only noises to be heard were Henry's gleeful screeches, the terrified squeaks of small rodents, and the howling of a wolf somewhere in the distance.

Until... A door creak. A footstep. A masked figure exited their home and hid in the underbrush. A moment later, another. They verified each others' identities with the secret Mafia handshake and proceeded with the night's business.

A little while later, the two mafiosi exited someone's house, each holding a bloodied knife.

In the morning, though, there was no dead body, and the bloodstains in the would-be victim's house had been dutifully cleaned up, so nobody but those involved knew who had been al let killed.

IT IS NOW DAY 4

Comment moderation will be turned off as soon as I've emailed out the results of everyone's night actions. You can use this time to discuss amongst yourselves in the comment section and try to sleuth out the mafioso. You do not have to share the results of your investigations, though failing to do so may make you seem suspicious.

If you want to hang a suspected mafioso, you can type castvote [player's name]
If you type "vote" rather than "castvote," your vote will be valid if I see it. However, I'm gonna Ctrl-F "castvote" when tallying up, so that's not a guarantee. Also please avoid using the word castvote when you're not voting.
If you want to redact a vote (which you can only do before it's reached a majority), type unvote. Please use bold! The code for that is <b>Bold text</b>

You are not obligated to hang somebody, though failing to do so may give the mafioso an advantage. However, hanging an innocent citizen has very major bad consequences in a game this small.

The day will end Wednesday, May the Fourth be With You, sometime between 9PM-12AM Thursday Pacific time (5-8AM Thursday UK time) unless a majority is reached and a suspect is selected, or unless people vote skip day, which also requires a majority vote.

If a suspect is selected, their 24-hour defense phase will begin immediately, even if I am not online to say so. During that time, you may castvote innocent or guilty, and you may change your vote at any time. The vote will not lock until the end of the defense phase.



The majority of votes needed today is 5.

If you have any questions, comment them in italics or email me. Or just say them, I'll probably see anyway I guess.
